Wales - Rhos-on-Sea beach reopens with million tonnes of seabed sand

A beach has reopened following an overhaul including about one million tonnes of sand from the seabed.

The £14m project in Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy county, involved using a 1km pipe to bring in the sand from the seabed.

It has prompted renewed calls for a sandy beach at nearby Llandudno, which has largely been covered in rocks as part of sea defences since 2014.

The beach at Rhos-on-Sea opened in time for the Easter weekend after work began last year.

North Wales Tourism boss Jim Jones said the new sand at Rhos-on-Sea beach was “stunning”.

Impressive!

Mr Jones said generations had enjoyed a sandy north shore at Llandudno before rocks were put on the beach as part of a flood protection scheme.

Llandudno:

Depressing.

The beach looks amazing with acres of golden sand :heart_eyes:
